It turns out that increasing the cadence of is not the only change that Google has planned for its web browser. In a tweet noted by 9to5Google (via XDA Developers), Alex Ainslie, head of Chrome design, outlined a new feature that makes it easier to try out experimental features that Google is working on. Starting this week, the browser’s Canary version includes a cup icon that lets you enable experimental features and send feedback to the Chrome team.
👩🔬 We hope to gather more feedback on @Google Chrome updates as developed. If you use Canary today (and soon Dev and Beta), you’ll see a small cup on the toolbar that makes it easier to try new things and share suggestions on how to develop them. pic.twitter.com/doPLzJbnRW

In the past, this meant trying out experiments in Chrome to enable flags. It made them difficult to access if you did not know what you were doing. It was also not easy to see at a glance which one you activated. Ainslie said Google is adding the menu to gather more feedback on updates as it develops. To that end, the cup icon will also move to the developer and beta versions of Chrome. This means you do not have to use the least stable version of Chrome to see what Google has in store for users.
